It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"What happened suddenly? Tell me how to grow monsters? Jack."

Kyo's brother naturally questions my sudden wish.

"You may have a lot of questions, but you can do it the way you want. Please, brother, tell me."

My brother started talking like he said he had no choice but to scratch his head at my sincere request. That's what I'm talking about.

"I don't know exactly how I do it. We're just plowing the ground, planting seeds, fertilizer, compost, water and stuff."

Well, is it better to plow the ground first?

"Well, I guess so at first. You might want to loosen up the soil and mix it in with the compost."

"Where does that compost go?

"No, compost is not such an unusual thing, and there are plenty of substitutes even if you don't bother to buy it. Like raw garbage or dead leaves. Especially since raw garbage is more economical both as fertilizer and as garbage disposal by planting it in soil and decomposing it as nutrients than discarding it as garbage."

I see.

Thanks to your brother's easy-to-understand cultivation course, I basically understood the basics for now.

I grabbed my wrinkles quickly and worked desperately to plow the soil.

Mmm, this is pretty hard. The force doesn't get in or out, and if I'm alarmed, it looks like my mouth is going to fall out.

When I was working desperately on the soil, Dora-chan sat on the ground and looked at me.

"Jack, what are you doing?"

"As you can see. I'm plowing dirt."

"Can you help your husband?

"No, I want to do something for a girl."

Dora puts a question mark on her head in that nihilistic story of mine. Was it an adult world that children didn't know about?

Anyway, I tilled the soil in this way, mixed the garbage that was accumulated in the back of the house into the soil, and rolled myself to scoop the ground, then tied a bucket to my mouth and poured water on it.

Hmm, it's hard to do it for the first time.

My brother, who was standing behind me somehow, was also impressed.

"Come on, Jack. It takes a day to do this alone, but I don't think we're gonna make it."

That's how you grab your hand to check the state of the dirt and drop it.

"The most important thing in cultivation is earthwork. I've been making a lot of monsters here lately, but the soil that makes the ground is the most important thing. This will be good enough to grow up. Wait a week or so, and plant it when the soil gets bored."

I thank my brother honestly for his advice.

After that, after the soil has become familiar, the seeds received from Miss Esther are planted and frequently watered.

However, the bud still doesn't come out so easily.

I sat in front of the dirt every day and watched, but it still didn't work.

My brother gently put his hand on my head, saying, "Don't rush me."

Then the next day, I went to the corner where I planted the seeds, as usual, and there was a small bud that I was not familiar with.

Definitely. The seeds of that Miss Esther I planted were sprouting.

Too happy to be around the garden that day.

Thereafter, the buds grew smoothly, and when they realized that they were nearly two meters tall, they finally found out what kind of seed this was.

It is a kind of monster called soybean system. At the tip of the branch, a leather bag containing three connecting beans called edamame was formed, and a small limb was grown and became a mozomoso.

The characteristic of this monster is that the Edamame portion acts as a willful monster and acts away from the tree.

The point is, we're a species similar to Jack Au Lantern.

Besides, they're much less dangerous than me and easier to harvest.

This could move her to Miss Esther's garden and feed her every day.

That's what I thought.

The next day, for some reason, the monster began to leak.

With so much sudden change, I was unexpectedly upset and turned around the garden.

When I saw it, the fruity Edamame beans were also tired and tight.

I desperately did everything I could think of, such as water, compost, and fertilizer, but I didn't see any effect.

Ultimately, "I'll turn myself into fertilizer! I tried to bury it in the dirt, but my brother and Dora stopped me, and it didn't happen.

Then, after a while, the soybeans I got from Miss Esther withered away.

"Oh, Master, Jack is dead, what should I say...."

"Come on, honestly, I want to hear it...."

Now I'm lying upside down like I died in the corner of a stall shop.

No, I'd rather actually die.

After all, the soybeans didn't bud from the seeds I received from Miss Esther, and that was the first and last one.

After all, it was meant to be, but there was one real Edamame bean there at that time.

Moreover, the color should normally be a healthy green color, but yellow like a dead leaf.

I can see that there are about three pieces of fruit inside, but it is quite hard even if it is over the leather bag, and I can see that it is not suitable for eating.

What should I apologize to her for? When this happens, I'll have to pay for it myself at her table.

Someone opens the door and appears as soon as she tries to bring Goron back to the system and dedicate this surviving life to her table.

"Kyaw, I wonder if it's okay right now. Actually, Mina seems to have a favor to ask you... What's wrong with this dark atmosphere?

"Oh, Lily. You came to a good place. Could you encourage Jack a little bit?"

"What? What are you suddenly saying? Why are you doing this...? Don't push your back a bit!

The two of them pushed Miss Lily's back and approached us.

I'm glad to hear your concern, but my mind has already been decided.

The pumpkin pan is confirmed as is.

As soon as I tried to move, Miss Lily shouted surprisingly at the dead edamame that was stuck in my mouth.

"Hey?! Where did you get that?!

"Nh, Lily. You know what that is?

"I know nothing about that. Isn't that the Gold Beans?! A phantom golden soybean comparable to S-rank in value alone!!

... golden soybeans?

--Concon.

"Yes, please."

I checked her voice and quietly opened the door.

"Hey, it's been a while. Miss Esther."

"That voice... is that Jack?! It's been a long time. What do you think, have you grown seeds since then?

I roll three seeds on my desk, asking her to be afraid.

That's all I could harvest from the seeds she gave me.

With it in her hand, Miss Esther smiled as if she had blown it out.

"Really? No, just three harvests is enough. Originally, seeds alone weren't worth anything, and just three would be enough."

"No, it's not a bean to eat. Miss Esther."

Miss Esther shrugged her head against what I said.

She touches the bean in her hand again to see how it feels.

It is too cold and hard for beans as if it were metal.

Yeah, that's...

"No way, is this... gold?

Yes, the seed she had. It's a golden monster called the Gold Beans.

But their cultivation is more difficult than Mandragora, and it's a complete mystery where they live.

Above all, they make only one Edamame.

If you make it come true, the tree will soon wither away.

If we don't harvest the Edamame beans in a short time, the gold inside will wither together, which is a precious monster of S-Class difficulty.

The seed, which her parents desperately acquired at the last moment, was literally worth sleeping through to cure her illness.

"Miss Esther. Sell him and treat your eyes with the money. There should be enough change."

Surprised at her, I turned my back and went out the door again as I did then.

On my back, she raised her voice with a variety of emotions that could take excitement, joy and gratitude.

"Um! Thank you! I'll never thank you for this....! If my eyes are healed, let me see your face first!!

So I returned a word to her screaming with tears.

"You should stop that."

Huh?

I shut the door quietly, turning my back on her when I was stunned.

In the end, she never found out who I was.

But I thought that was fine. It was the monster who took her parents.

You don't have to know that her life saver was the same monster.

This is a story full of crazy pumpkins giving gifts to strangers everywhere.

But still, when I left...

"One day, when my eyes are healed, I will definitely come to thank you! Jack!"

Her voice kept me warm in my pumpkin heart.
